anybody know how to give the computer permission to delete photos off the iphone 6? I loaded all the pictures on to my folder and now I just want to highlight the pictures on the iphone using the computer and press delete and I keep getting cannot delete do not have permission to delete this item
iPhone 6
I handle my iPhone photos exactly the same way as you do and I just had this same issue and figured it out. If you go to "Settings" "iCloud" "Photos" and then disable "iCloud Photo Album (Beta)" it should let you bulk delete the pictures from your phone. You may have to unplug and plug back in. This fixed it for me and hopefully it is the cause for you, too, so you can disable it and have your bulk delete functionality back.

i have a lot of pics on my phone and I just needed to delete like 300 of them but I have to select them one by one.. I use to just load all the pics onto a folder and then from the iphone I would highlight the photos in the iphone folder and delete them but now it says do not have permission to delete photos.. So I need to know how to give it permission to delete photos off the iphone from the computer.
This worked on Windows 7 and is very useful if you want to delete a lot of pictures at once. alternative method:
plug iphone into pc
open windows explorer and right click on iphone in the navigation pane and select 'Import pictures and videos'
Click Import settings in the Import Pictures and Videos dialog box.
check the box for 'Always erase from device after importing' and click OK
The import will restart and once all the files are imported it will delete the from the iphonr
Amazingly worked.
I have disabled iphoto library under settings, icloud, iphotos.
Only all files were deleted, but folders cannot be removed in windows 7.
But it deleted me all the files in the iphone after deleted all files in windows 7.
OMG, thep0tter, THANK YOU! I've had this problem for months, and it's been driving me crazy! The settings on my phone (iOS 9) don't have exactly the same names, but your simple instructions were enough to get me to where I needed to make changes, and I can now manage my photos properly, from my PC. Thank you, thank you, Thank you!
You can either delete them on the phone, or use the Camera and Scanner Wizard in Windows or Image Capture in Mac OS X.
There is no way to give it permission from the computer, because permissions are managed on the phone.
Actually you can grant permission via iTunes during plug in 🙂
What kind of computer are you using? Mac or PC?
